Reply to comment by Fantastic_Mongoose_4 in Let’s reflect on Jpows rate hikes up until now. by LessTalkMoreRock1

I'm nervous too but I think the recent rally has boxed him in. If he comes out with a dovish speech the market is going to blow its roof off and that isn't what he wants. I think that WSJ article last Friday was a test to see what would happen if they telegraphed any type of step back and the market failed.

That’s a really interesting thought. It hadn’t occurred to me that the fed would bluff as a test. Underrated comment for sure
